The first one will be a card that I made for a friend of mine's significant other. It was his birthday and he loves his beer and loves to read. I made this card and sent him a gift card for Barnes and Noble. He loved the card and I hope you enjoy it.

The second part of this post is there is a GREAT giveaway at:http://keepsakesbymelissa.blogspot.com/2011/02/candy-for-u.html

I have made a card for my first entry to Mary's Blog. I have been cutting out chicks all day and came up with this card. I cut out 2 different sized chicks, both coming out of a shell. This is the birth of spring chickens of which I am not one of them. LOL. Seriously Spring is rebirth and so here is my Spring card.

I thought it was appropriate to post a picture of my cat, Flyboy, as it is his 10th birthday today. I was working in my craftroom and all of a sudden I looked over and the big fat boy was perched on top of my Cricut cartridge photo boxes. He looked so cute that I had to snap this picture. I think it is special that he was born on Valentine's Day because he is SO loved.

Here is a cute card from the Twinkle Toes cartridge. I love the elephant and think that she needed to be shown to all. I think there was rain or snow on the window which shows in the photo. I used a crochet flower that I bought online and the words are done in peel off stickers. I wonder if she is light on her feet?

I know that I spelled ballerina wrong. Just chalk it up to a senior moment. thanks.

This card I used the snowglobe Cricut cutout and cut the globe and the layer out of paper and then cut a second layer of acetate. I cut the kitty out and adhered it to the backing. I then used velium tape to adhere the acetate layer to the upper part of the glove. I cut the "Sweetie" out of metal colored paper that I got from HSN.

This is another use what you have bought and have not done anything with cards. I have not used the Cuttlebug Preserves embossing folder that go with the Preserves Cricut Cartridge. I cut the three fruits at 3" and embossed the cards with the linking folders. I took some ink on each one to bring out the embossing. I stamped two of the cards, cherry and pear ones, and use my new Dymo label maker for the orange one. My cat is running from me as since I got the label maker as I am labeling everything. I think he may be afraid he will get labeled.

I have decided with all the snow and the fact that I cannot go anywhere that I would use some of the tools that I have bought and never used. I think all of us have done that at one time for another. The one I did yesterday was to use a flower loom that I bought. I made these flowers and I think they were pretty nice. I plan to use them on my cards. This tool has enabled me to make my own flowers for my cards. Let me know what you think.

Here is a card that I made for the Paper Playtime blog. I colored in the bird and cut it out with an oval cutter. I put that piece onto a circle which I ran through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots envelope. I then mounted that onto a piece of mustard colored paper and added a piece of beige ribbon and some gold peel off stickers. As I love birds, I thought this was one that I would love doing.

Here is my entry onto the sewing heart challenge at NettieG's Digital Gems BlogI cut out the digi stamp and glued lace around the edges. I colored in the heart with red and white gel pens. I also cut out the two small hearts and covered them with suede paper. I put pearls at the intersections of each separate parts of the hearts. I attached the two hearts with ribbon. I covered the card with the same suede paper and added gold peel off stickers. This again was another fun challenge.
